Yup, just sounds like a regular deathmatch but persistant, on a larger scale, with pimped clothing.
Would be interesting as a game mode, but somehow doesnt sound like it's a full game. |

You should remove the PS3 icon because its unlikely at this point.
/Considers making some bullshit statements about this being too much for the PS3 to handle anyway and being miles ahead of anything on the platform in its genre... remembers how sad and bitter it looks when PS3 fanboys try it and passes on it.

Anyone seen the Eurgamer MMO article with Dave Jones mentioned in the link below. I couldn't find it! http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/e3-rep... |

@RexRunti
+1 I need more info - What if your are the 1001 player to start a game, does that mean you have to loaf around a city on your own until someone else joins? /goes to http://www.apb.com

It's not clear from this how the clan/gang angle will work. I assume if I get a dozen or so reprobates together we can all group up?
Not sure where all the negativity is coming from round this. Feels a lot less grindy than other MMOs, and the idea of smaller instances means that the RvR should work well, so long as the matchmaking is good. It's not like you've got a few massive servers where it's almost impossible to get a good balance between the opposing factions. WAR, I'm looking at you. |

It actually sounds a hell of lot like Crackdown to me, just with the AI gangs replaced by human opponents, and perhaps the jumping etc. toned down a bit.

I can answer one of your questions: what what formats will it be on? Joystiq had an interview with the dev and when askes "this is pc only? The answer was yes.
Come on, eurogamer you seem to copy what little news you do post ( when it's not fanboy flame bait ) from orher sites such as joystiq the day after so I'm surprised you didn't know the answer to this question.

Its PC only at this time. A 360 version might be out later (2011?). No talk of a PS3 version at all.

they seem to be aiming at hardcore shooter fans, like counter-strike, call of duty, but APB is 3rd person and i can't help but think that will put off many PC gamers. if you're going to make a competitive online shooter for the PC, first person is king for most gamers.

I too second 8BitMofo. The MMO concept is great, I'm just waiting (and waiting, and waiting and waiting and waiting) for something that's not fucking fantasy (EVE is a spreadsheet GUI, so it doesn't count). I like fantasy in books, where things make coherent sense, not in games, where it's basically used as a giant excuse for game design limitations. And I hate magic.
I also worry about the size of the city; if finding other players isn't going to take ages and there are only 1000 NPCs, the city must be pretty small...right? I expect worlds comparable in size, complexity and scale to WoW or EVE for MMO games. EDIT: and Stoopidgreg, in fact. Third person is a distant second to first person when it comes to shooting things...as it were. At least make this an option, guys.
